Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy vessel leg dating from the medieval or post-medieval period. The vessel leg is broadly rectangular in section with a pronounced mid rib and side ribs and a flat reverse. The thickness of the vessel leg decreases away from where the leg would have attached to the vessel. This was probably a leg from a cauldron or posnet or other similar vessel, which were in use over a long period of time, c. AD 1300-1700. See IOW-BDAA12 for similar example.

Object type: CANDLESTICK
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of a late medieval - post medieval copper alloy candlestick dating to the period c. AD 1475 - 1600. Circular sectioned with a flared collar approximately halfway along the remaining length. It terminates in an old break at either end.
Egan (2005: 81, nos. 337-338) publishes a pair of very similar candle sticks of two different lengths with varying numbers of collars, both excavated in 16th century contexts in London. Brownsword (1985, no. 7) illustrates another similar candlestick which he dates to the late 15th or early 16th centuries. cf. SOM-581B96 on this database.

The figurine is cast into a three-dimensional depiction of the animal, which is depicted standing, with legs straight and head facing forward. The head and body are robustly depicted, the latter sub-oval in cross section, when compared to the relatively spindley legs and tail. Wher…
